Pet Laser Therapy

Non-invasive treatment using focused light to promote healing and alleviate pain in pets.

Pet Laser Therapy

Treatment on a Cellular Level

Perhaps you or someone you know has benefited from Laser Therapy; well, it’s just as effective with pets. We’ve had clients that began laser therapy for chronic pain management after they witnessed the effects it had on their pets. It’s pretty fascinating to see the effects of Laser Therapy on pets. Laser Therapy is simply the process of placing a small handheld device on the affected area for pre-determined time frames. It is a non-evasive procedure, so it’s important to note it’s not the same as surgical lasers that cut through tissue.

Pain Management for Cats and Dogs

Laser Therapy lessens pain by decreasing nerve sensitivity and inflammation, relaxes muscles, and improves circulation through low-level light energy, which, used at specific frequencies, causes a physiological change at the cellular level.

Healing

Designed to increase blood flow to the affected area, the process flushes out inflammatory mediators and swelling, as it accelerates tissue repair by increasing the rate of cell division and activating cells needed for repair. The speed at which healing occurs varies by patient and the extent of the condition. Some patients have seen results in one session, while others require a more long-term approach. Our team of skilled and knowledgeable Doctors can provide a tailored plan and have your pet on its way to living a comfortable, less painful life.
